She's Funny That Way 1928

Once she dressed in silks and lace
Owned a Rolls Royce car
Now she seems quite out of place
Like a fallen star
Draped around my kitchen sink
Happy as can be
I just have to stop and think
Why she fell for me

I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm living and lucky to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar,
ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler,
she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work
and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better
off if I went away
But why should I leave her,
why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm living and lucky to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar,
ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler,
she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work
and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better
off if I went away
But why should I leave her,
why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

She should have the very best
Anyone can see
Still she’s different from the rest,
satisfied with me
While I worry, plan and scheme
Over what to do
Can't help feeling it's a dream
Too good to be true

I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm living and lucky to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar,
ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler,
she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work
and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better
off if I went away
But why should I leave her,
why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way

I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm living and lucky to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar,
ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler,
she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work
and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better
off if I went away
But why should I leave her,
why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
